Abstract

With the purpose of contributing to the analysis of spatial segregation, this work proposes to approach the analysis from an economic dimension, through a methodological proposal for the construction of a synthetic Indicator of Socioeconomic Spatial Segregation (ISSS). The proposed indicator seeks to measure the distribution of the potential of access to the residential land of the city, among households ordered according to income levels. The ISSS has a range between zero and one, where one would correspond to a scenario of "null segregation" and consequently values ​​closer to zero would reflect higher conditions of residential segregation. Theoretically, the ISES is based on the urban land rent theory proposed by Samuel Jaramillo (2009), more specifically, in the Segregation Monopoly Rent category.
The ISSS analysis scenarios for the city of Bogotá, built on the basis of data from the 2014 Multipurpose Survey and the city's cadastral database, suggest that Bogotá is effectively a segregated city according to the scale of comparison, and In addition, spatial segregation is particularly sensitive to changes in income levels. To the extent that this methodological proposal is achieved, contrast the ISES for Bogotá and / or for other cities in different years, it will be possible to take better advantage of its analytical potential, as well as its instrumentation for the design of plans and the formulation of policies
